Working with flexible PCBs in -40°C environments presents unique challenges that demand careful material selection and process adjustments. Through our experience with automotive and aerospace applica……
Practical Techniques for Local Trace Repair in Rigid-Flex PCB Flexible AreasDealing with damaged traces in flexible PCB sections doesn't automatically mean board replacement. Through numerous field re……
Working with ultra-thin flexible PCB substrates demands careful attention to detail. Through our experience developing miniature medical devices and wearable sensors, we've learned that substrate tear……
Working with high-frequency signals in rigid-flex designs presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to vias. I remember struggling with signal integrity issues in our first 5G module prot……
When we first started working on foldable display drivers, we quickly discovered that traditional PCB spacing rules simply don't hold up in flexible applications. The conventional 3W rule - where you ……
Managing heat in rigid-flex PCB designs presents unique challenges, particularly in the flexible sections. Traditional cooling solutions often fail because they can't withstand repeated bending cycles……
Putting chips and sensors together on flexible PCBs creates some unique engineering challenges. I've worked on several wearable medical projects where we learned these lessons through trial and error.……
Signal crosstalk in the multi-layer flexible zones of rigid-flex boards is a problem we've all faced. I remember a specific project involving a high-density wearable device where signal integrity issu……
Sunlight absolutely destroys standard flexible circuits. I've seen boards that worked perfectly in lab testing become brittle and fail within months when deployed in outdoor equipment. Through years o……
Moving to modular designs with rigid-flex PCBs can feel like solving a 3D puzzle. I've worked on projects where well-executed segmentation made field upgrades effortless, and others where poor segment……
Working with trace widths below 50μm feels like walking a tightrope - the margin for error virtually disappears. I've seen designs that looked perfect in simulation get completely derailed by etching ……
We've all seen it: a flexible PCB works perfectly on the test bench, but after a few bends, the resistance becomes unstable. The culprit is often not the design itself, but an overlooked detail—platin……
